Can Yogurt Intolerance Cause Numbness In The Body And Sleepiness?
2 years ago I seemed to have a reaction to eating greek yogurt, tingling throughout body to the toes. Stopped eating it but was made to feel that it couldn t be the yogurt. Started eating again recently, having issues with sleep, the urge to sleep is overpowering & experience numbing sensations throughout body when awakening. Still think it is a reaction, could this be correct & is there a way to check it through a blood check or something else?

Hello,
In my opinion, there is no reason to be worried and usually, this is just temporary and self-limiting. Excessive daytime sleepiness is common issues and should be considered in this case.
Excessive daytime sleepiness may be caused by conditions such as sleep deprivation, metabolic disturbances, sleep apnoea, medications, neurological disorders such as seizures and psychiatric disorders such as depression.
If emotional causes are ruled out then some tests can be done to confirm the diagnosis.
In my opinion, polysomnography ( sleep study ), is one of the necessary examinations in order to achieve a correct diagnosis. Please discuss with primary care Doctor about these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
